“Clinton’s support has softened since the summer, but she has still managed to grab a share of those who tend to vote Republican,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Clinton by ‘Wide Margin’ Seen as More Qualified Than Trump: Poll

With all the talk of tightening polls — and clearly they are, as expected -- the internals of this week's Quinnipiac poll paint a starkly different picture than the raw data would indicate. I find it fascinating, baffling and ... encouraging?

Clinton trails Trump on the ‘honesty' issue by a few points, though he still is seen as dishonest by half of respondents. Yet on every other important trait, characteristic and issue, she is ROUTING him. Below are some highlights. What am I missing?

Likely voters say 62-38% that Clinton is qualified to be president and 61-38% that Trump is NOT qualified.

Clinton cares about average Americans, 53%-46%, Trump does NOT, 55%-44%;

Clinton is intelligent, 88%-11%; Trump is intelligent 69%-29%;

Clinton is level-headed, 63%-55%; Trump is NOT, 69%-27%;

68-31% that Clinton has the right kind of experience to be president; Trump does NOT have the right experience to be president, 65%-34%.

Voters say 51%-46% that she would do a better job on immigration;

Voters trust Clinton more than Trump, 52%-43%, to make the right decision about sending U.S. troops overseas;

Voters trust Clinton more 57%-39% percent, to handle foreign policy.

"Trump trails Clinton on foreign policy, immigration, experience, intelligence and level-headedness, but perhaps most damning, American likely voters say 61%-35% that 'the way Donald Trump talks appeals to bigotry,' " Malloy said.

The only area where Clinton trails Trump is on the question of honesty, where 55% say Clinton is “not honest enough to be president” while 48% say the same of Trump.

For all the gloom and doom around here about how we’re losing even though we’re winning — always have been — here’s an antidote from the Washington Post. Sorry for the short diary but this should be pointed out, given all the talk about how the middle class has supposedly suffered so much under Obama.

My apologies for the short diary but I felt it was important to pass along this message from Jeremy Bird in the Obama campaign regarding what's really happening on the ground in Ohio. It's all about getting the vote out, and that's exactly what is occurring. Big time. Excepts from the memo below:

Why do so few people on DKos mention the Rasmussen Tracking Poll, which has proven election after election to be among the most reliable. As of today (Monday), Obama has moved ahead of Clinton by 8 points, double his lead just two days earlier.

In addition, Obama does better than Clinton against McCain and has consistently for the past two weeks. See the polls at www.rasmussenreports.com.

President Bush did not improve his own or his party's standing through the intense campaign of speeches he made and events he attended surrounding the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, according to a new New York Times/CBS News poll. Mr. Bush's job approval rating was 37 percent, unchanged from the last Times/CBS poll, which was conducted in August. His disapproval rating held steady at 56 percent.

In the poll, 50 percent of voters said they would support a Democrat in the fall Congressional election, compared with 35 percent who said they would support a Republican.

While I was disgusted when Fred Hiatt and his Bush-backers at the Washington Post editorial page threw Joe Wilson under the bus, I can't saw I was surprised. But David Broder?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/...

In a column set to run Thursday, Broder states that Salon, Newsweek and The American Prospect owe Karl Rove an apology -- AN APOLOGY -- and that the Plame outing was nothing more than a political event cooked up by the left-wing media.

I am saddened and disgusted.

AP: Bush job rating falls back to 6-year low of 33%

Enough said:

Bush rating falls back to 6-year low
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republicans determined to win in November are up against a troublesome trend - growing opposition to President Bush.
An Associated Press-Ipsos poll conducted this week found the president's approval rating has dropped to 33 percent, matching his low in May. His handling of nearly every issue, from the Iraq War to foreign policy, contributed to the president's declining popularity around the nation, even in the Republican-friendly South.
More sobering for the GOP is the number of voters who backed Bush in 2004 and are ready to vote Democratic in the fall's congressional elections - 19 percent. These onetime Bush voters are more likely to be female, self-described moderates, low- to middle-income and from the Northeast and Midwest.

As a long-time dailykos reader and subscriber, I've witnessed a disturbing trend that has me increasingly convinced why the Democrats (and the Left at large) have such a hard time winning elections: We can't stop attacking our own.

Most of the diaries and debates on this site are great, and most of the arguments are well-thought-out. But increasingly I've detected a mean-spirited, nasty streak to the posters, much of it directed at Democrats and liberals. I often cringe at the personal attacks on people like John Kerry, Harry Reid and other Dem leaders who, while flawed, don't deserve the kind of vitriole expressed here -- the kind that should be directed at the GOPs and this frightening administration, and the kind that only gives the Wingnuts more ammunition for their claims that the Left is in disarray.

What prompted me to write this diary, though, was Wednesday's thread regarding Nancy Pelosi that contained language that I simply couldn't believe came from "our" side. More on the flip....
